Time flies like an arrow; three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The Ganwu Mystic Region is a magnificent palace complex, decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.
Today is the day of celebration for the Ganwu Country Lord's breakthrough to the Universe Master, and many guests have already arrived.
Outside the palace where the banquet was being held, Longjing Venerable and Marquis Fuhai stood side by side, responsible for welcoming the guests.
Marquis Fuhai was tall and strong, with a resolute face and black fish scales on his face.
He was the chief disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, yet he perished countless eons ago...
Now that the Ganwu Country Lord has broken through to the Universe Master, he immediately resurrected 33 of his 36 fallen disciples, including the Marquis Fuhai.
The Virtual Universe Company has stricter requirements for the resurrection of its powerful members than other forces. Those above the King Rank can be resurrected once for free, but from the second time onwards, a fee is required for resurrection.
As for those below the King Rank, they are usually not resurrected, but there are exceptions if they are peerless geniuses, disciples of the Universe Master, Core Member, or those who have made special contributions.
The Ganwu Country Lord only has two disciples who have been granted the title of King Rank: the current Longjing Venerable and Venerable Xuewei. All other disciples are below the King Rank. Therefore, even though Marquis Fuhai is his eldest disciple, he cannot be resurrected because he does not meet the requirements.
"Second Junior Brother, I never thought I'd see the light of day again."
Looking at the lively scene, Marquis Fuhai's eyes were filled with sighs. "Haha, now that I've become the Universe Master, I will naturally resurrect you all." Longjing Venerable smiled, "It's a pity that my three junior brothers didn't break through to Immortal before they perished, and I was powerless to help them."
"Teacher has done more than enough. Teacher has just broken through and lacks divine power, yet he has expended his divine power because of us. I am truly ashamed." Marquis Fuhai was extremely grateful.
"It's alright, the teacher is very reliable, it won't have any impact."
Just then, two figures flew over from a distance.
Longjing Venerable and Marquis Fuhai stepped forward simultaneously, bowed, and said...
" Venerable Lei Ming."
"Haha, this must be Fuhai. Ganwu often talked to me about his eldest disciple. Now, his wish has finally come true and he has resurrected you..." Venerable Lei Ming laughed heartily, looking at Tie Shan beside him, and said, "Why don't you greet my two senior uncles?"
"Greetings, my two senior masters."
Tie Shan quickly bowed.
"This must be Junior Brother Qingshan's new apprentice, haha, not bad... a promising talent."
The Longjing Venerable patted Tie Shan's shoulder with his large hand, offering encouragement.
Marquis Fuhai simply nodded, saying nothing. He could sense that Tie Shan's aura was far stronger than his own. This Tie Shan was likely an Invincible King.
His junior brother was even more beyond his imagination.
"This is my congratulatory gift."
Venerable Lei Ming took out a Space Ring and handed it to Longjing Venerable.
The Longjing Venerable glanced at it and said in surprise, " Venerable Lei Ming, you are too kind."
Inside this Space Ring was a Supreme Treasure. Although Venerable Lei Ming was already Universe Overlord, a Supreme Treasure was still a rather valuable gift for him.
"This is a Supreme Treasure War Blade that I crafted myself," Venerable Lei Ming said with a smile.
The Longjing Venerable exclaimed in agreement, "Crafted by hand? It seems the Venerable Lei Ming's weapon-forging skills have improved considerably!"
"Thanks to the Lord of Myriad Laws, who bestowed upon Tie Shan those inheritances, my weapon-refining skills have also improved somewhat."
Longjing Venerable nodded and said, " Venerable Lei Ming, please come inside."
Venerable Lei Ming nodded and called Tie Shan to enter the palace together.
The two had just entered when a burly man with a gentle face Teleportation over.
When the Longjing Venerable saw the newcomer, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he quickly stepped forward.
"Elder Xi Luo Duo, your teacher has been thinking of you for a long time, and was worried that you were in seclusion and unable to come."
" Ganwu is my close friend, and I certainly wouldn't miss his grand ceremony of breaking through to the Universe Master."
Xi Luo Duo placed a gift down, smiled, and said, "I am very pleased that the Ganwu has achieved what he has today."
"Elder Xi Luo Duo, your teacher has been waiting for a long time. Please come in quickly."
The Longjing Venerable personally led Xi Luo Duo into the palace.
As time went by.
The number of guests is increasing.
Venerable Beiming, Nine Swords Venerable, Blood Wing Venerable, Thousand Illusion Venerable, Venerable Youyue... Almost all the Universe Venerable from the Virtual Universe Company, except those who were adventuring outside or in seclusion and unaware of this matter, came.
Even more powerful Top Overlord, such as the Lord of the Tian Shi Palace Master, the Ancestor Tree Venerable, and the Star Prison Demon Lord, have also appeared.
There are also many powerful figures from the Hongmeng Alliance, such as Venerable Meihua, Venerable Kuxin Venerable Kurong, as well as Qing Dou Kou Venerable and Venerable Zi Dou Kou from the Alien Race... As for those above the Universe Master, there will be separate occasions for celebration, and the Ganwu Country Lord has not extended an invitation.
Of course, the absence of an invitation does not mean that the Universe Master will not arrive.
The Lord of Cold Thorn of the Thorn Ring Alliance, the Lord of Sky Wolf Lord Youmo, the Lord of Flint of Lord of Nine Remoteness, the Lord of Flint, and the Lord Langhan of the Hong Alliance all came uninvited. On the human side, the Galaxy Lord and the Purple Feather Star Master, as juniors, also attended this grand ceremony.
The connections of the Ganwu Country Lord were now on full display.
Lu Qingshan arrived last; the person attending the ceremony was merely an avatar of his.
Only after his arrival did the Ganwu Country Lord announce the start of the banquet.
The entire palace was instantly bustling with activity.
Besides the Ganwu Country Lord, Lu Qingshan was also toasted by many powerful figures, and he accepted all the toasts, giving face to the Ganwu Country Lord's friends.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,
As some guests departed, Lu Qingshan was summoned to another location by the Ganwu Country Lord.
Here, the Ganwu Country Lord finally voiced his doubts. " Qingshan, my breakthrough this time was very strange. Could it be related to you?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, "There is indeed some connection."
"I knew it!" The Ganwu Country Lord breathed a sigh of relief. His disciple's words put him at ease. After all, the sudden change had made the Ganwu Country Lord both excited and worried.
" Qingshan, could you tell me what's going on?"
"The Ganwu Country Lord asked expectantly."
"It is the Will of the Original Universe. This disciple has made some contributions to the Primal Universe and has received a reward from its Will of the Original Universe..."
Lu Qingshan recounted the World Beast Crisis and his relationship with the Master of Fire.
The Ganwu Country Lord's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
He had just broken through to the Universe Master, and the World Beast Calamity was a secret of the Human Race, known only to those above the Universe Master. He was unaware of this information before.
Listening to it now, I only feel a sense of disorientation.
And his own disciple actually killed Fifth-Order Universe Master from the First Reincarnation Era, which is truly astonishing.
Having Ganwu naturally understood the immense gap between Universe Master. He was currently only First-Tier Universe Master...
" Qingshan... I have gained so much from taking you as my disciple," the Ganwu Country Lord exclaimed.
When he first took Lu Qingshan as his disciple, he did have the unrealistic hope that the disciple would help him pay off his debts. However, the return Lu Qingshan gave him far exceeded his expectations. He never imagined that even he himself would break through to the level of the Universe Master because of this.
"Teacher, please don't overthink it. As your disciple, it's only right that I consider your needs. You've just broken through, and I've prepared three gifts for you."
"Three items?"
The Ganwu exclaimed in surprise.
His gaze fell on the storage arm guard that Lu Qingshan had taken out; three treasures had already been retrieved by Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan introduced them one by one.
"This is the Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower, which can increase the Gene Multiplier of Universe Master. Teacher has just broken through to the Universe Master, and his gene multiplier is only 100. This treasure can significantly improve it."
He briefly explained the effects of the Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower, then looked at the other two items.
"These two items, one is Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure, and the other is High-grade Soul Defense Supreme Treasure. With these two treasures, Teacher is basically safe inside the Primal Universe. Teacher has just broken through and probably won't be going to the Universe Ocean for the time being, so these are enough."
" Qingshan!" The Ganwu Country Lord's expression changed slightly as he looked at the three treasures. "I'll shamelessly accept this treasure that boosts Gene Multiplier, but I don't want the other two Supreme Treasure..." "Master, I can easily kill even a Fifth-Order Universe Master like the Master of Fire. What are these Supreme Treasure to me? Only when you are safe can I roam the Universe Ocean with peace of mind," Lu Qingshan persuaded.
"This..." The Ganwu Country Lord sighed, unable to think of a reason to refuse. He said, " Qingshan, your master thanks you."
"Teacher, please don't be so polite. Let's try the effects of this Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower first."
"Um."
The Ganwu Country Lord nodded slightly. Under the influence of divine power, the Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower transformed into a life force, which he absorbed into his divine body.
In just a moment, terrifying life energy erupted within his body.
"Teacher, do as I say to manipulate these life energies."
Lu Qingshan offered a reminder, and then guided the Ganwu Country Lord to improve his genes.
If the Ganwu Country Lord were to use it himself, there would definitely be some loss during the enhancement process. But with Lu Qingshan's guidance, it would be completely different, and he could achieve the best results.
Under the guidance of his disciples, the Ganwu Country Lord's Gene Multiplier rapidly increased.
One hundred times, two hundred times, five hundred times, one thousand times, two thousand times...
In just a few years, the Ganwu Country Lord's Gene Multiplier increased to two thousand times, and his divine body grew to over a thousand kilometers in length. And this wasn't the end; the remaining energy continued to increase until the last trace of life force was exhausted, at which point the Ganwu Country Lord's Gene Multiplier reached 2400 times. "What a powerful treasure!"
The Ganwu Country Lord opened his eyes, feeling his enormous divine body and empty divine power, his eyes filled with shock and joy.
Although he had just broken through, he had lived for so many years and was very knowledgeable, so he knew what it meant to increase the Gene Multiplier by more than two thousand times at once.
This treasure is probably even more precious than the Top-tier Palace Supreme Treasure.
" Qingshan, you've gone to so much trouble!"
The Ganwu Country Lord said with shame.
As a teacher, it was one thing for him to rely on his disciples to break through to the Universe Master, but after breaking through, he still needed to rely on his disciples to increase his Gene Multiplier. This made the Ganwu Country Lord, who was not used to living off his disciples, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
He felt particularly ashamed when he thought that the only treasure he had bestowed upon his disciple was an Ordinary Heavy Treasure weapon.
He gave Lu Qingshan too little in return, while Qingshan gave him too much.
"Teacher... this treasure is nothing to me. However, please try not to spread it. The most important thing for you right now is to use this Origin Supreme Treasure to absorb divine power and replenish your divine power as soon as possible. Once you have replenished your divine body, I will give you another Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower."
Lu Qingshan waved his hand slightly, speaking nonchalantly.
The Ganwu Country Lord understood that this item was extraordinary, and naturally, he wouldn't tell anyone else to avoid causing trouble for his disciple. For the next few decades, Lu Qingshan's avatar remained in the Ganwu Universe Country.
During his trip, he also visited the Maple Leaf Empire, where he met his son, Lu Lingxiao, and other descendants of the Maple Leaf Empire.
The changes are indeed significant.
In just a few decades, geniuses of the Maple Leaf Empire have sprung up one after another like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Geniuses who comprehend the Star Level are only considered standard; among his direct descendants, there was also a top genius who comprehended the Planetary Level level.
Such a genius, if he doesn't perish, will likely become Immortal; it's a highly probable event.
Kevin, Kerry, Kyle of Qiu Long Star also saw their potential enhanced. Kerry and Kyle both gained recognition from the laws. The genius who was previously sent to the Ganwu Mystic Region by Lu Qingshan successfully comprehended the laws and broke through to Immortal, becoming the second Immortal God of the Kai family.
The Will of the Original Universe manifested its unparalleled power in the most direct way.
If killing a Master of Fire is this difficult, one can only imagine the immense gains that would be made if those three World Beast Slaves were eliminated or the World Beast Crisis were resolved.
